A local convenience store contacted Eagle Police recently when an employee discovered a home-made card number reader device attached to two gas pump credit card readers.

The devices were discovered when the store manager called in a technician to work on two non-functioning gas pump card readers. The technician found the devices when he opened the reader mechanisms. According to the police report the technician was able to remove the devices and he said the items were "homemade and not something that you would buy in stores."

The store manager reported three other recent occasions where the gas pump card readers were not functioning and provided police with the technicians' reports from those occasions. She told police that security cameras were placed in the area, but she did not have access to the footage. She said that corporate officers could review the security footage.

The Eagle officer asked the technician if he would check pumps at other gas stations in the community to see if he could find any more card skimmer devices. He did so and did not find any additional devices.

The case remains under investigation.
